The chorus continues, “Sack Sanford”, and the media once again advertises it’s bias.

” COLUMBIA, South Carolina (CNN) — South Carolina Republican Party Chairwoman Karen Floyd seemed to suggest Wednesday that the time had come for GOP Gov. Mark Sanford to consider resigning from office.
Gov. Mark Sanford has said it’s better for him to keep his governorship to “learn lessons.”

Gov. Mark Sanford has said it’s better for him to keep his governorship to “learn lessons.”

“For the past two days, I have been speaking with Republican leaders across South Carolina,” she said in a statement. “There is clearly a growing view that the time may have come for Governor Sanford to remove himself and his family from the limelight, so that he can devote his efforts full-time to repairing the damage in his personal life.”

The statement comes on the same day as a growing number of GOP state senators called for Sanford to step down.”

CNN has learned that GOP Sens. Daniel Verdin, Shane Martin, Ronnie Cromer and Wes Hayes joined the anti-Sanford chorus Wednesday morning, bringing the total number of Republican senators calling for the governor’s resignation to 13. There are 27 Republicans in the state Senate.

Another state senator stopped just short of calling for Sanford to step down Wednesday. Glenn McConnell, Senate president pro tempore, didn’t explicitly ask Sanford to resign, but he did ask him “to do the right thing for himself, his family and our state.”

Whether or not he should isn’t the issue, personally I find the fact that he left the Governorship empty for a couple of days to be more damning. Quite naturally cowardly GOPers when cornered by the media are all too ready to throw their own to the sharks, so CNN’s “survey” is quite worthless.

But to date let’s compare the number of “Should Sanford Resign?” stories the media has run against say, those it wrote about New York’s Governor Patterson.

Back in March of last year New York’s David Patterson admitted to one long term affair, and several affairs in between, yet there were a total of 11 articles, only three of which advocated his stepping down. Not once did CNN perform a survey of democrats and ask them should he step down.

To date we have over 34 stories, 25 of those from major outlets talking about Mark Sanford stepping down. Both are guilty of adultery, so it seems the media is doing a bit of filtering no?

Fact is, if we were to compare further between Patterson and Sanford we could deduct the reason is that only one is black, blind and Democrat. Seems Sanford is just as unlucky in birth as he is in love.
